a! thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his difciples, faying, Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of me. Likewife after Supper he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of this; for this is my blood of the New Teftament, which is fhed for you. and many for the remiffion of fins: Do this, as often as you fhall drink it, in remembrance of me. Amen. Luth. Hah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a, a, He, he, he, he, he, he, he, e, e, e! Drollery upon drollery, and all is drollery, faith the Preacher. If I am not relieved, I certainly fhall split my fides, or be choaked with fat. The wind-pipe wheezes for want of breath. I fhall die at laft with the connundrums and low quibbles of the Calvinifts, the low cunning and fneering faces, mouths awry, and fquint eye; O leprofy, barnacle, or leech-craft criminals, plagues of Egypt entering into our inward receffes, of hearts and minds; and, like highwaymen or footpads, not only picking our pockets, but our fouls, of our virgin-gold, and, with a fneer, infect and oblige us to receive, by their fubtilty and fallacious fophiftry, in lieu, their counterfeit coin. What puzzles, is to fearch out this counterfeit, up to its fountain-bead, whereby we may be enabled to enact proper reds to fcourge, and lay bare, with breeches down, fchoof-boy like, both backs and bums, to the infpection of his Majefty's liege fubjects, who, by a front and full afpect, view the fhame, we prize, and make our glory and boast. Boy. Boy. 50 Pfalm. The Lord, even the moft mighty God hath fpoken, and called the world, from the rifing of the fun unto the going down thereof; out of Sion hath God appeared in perfect beauty. He fhall call the heaven from above:. and the earth, that he may judge his people. Gather my faints together unto me; thofe that have made a covenant with me with facrifice. Alfo Malachi, chap. i. I have no pleasure in you, (the Jewish facrifice) faith the Lord of Hofts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. For from the rifing of the fun even unto the going down of the fame, my name shall be great among the Gentiles: and in every place incenfe fhall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name fhall be great among the Gentiles, faith the Lord of Hofts. Mof. These are Scripture-promifes to the new covenant of the Meffiah, which you claim, in the perfon of Jefus Chrift and his Chriftianity. Ifrael knows, by repeated admonitions and coinmands, that the contract betwixt the Creator and creature, and feal of Priesthood, have the requifites and qualities of a facrament. Luth. Our Rubric requires two effentials or parts. An outward and vifible fign of an inward and spiritual grace. Your Scriptures are extraordinary lavish, to a profufion, both outwardly and inwardly, on the Jewith Priesthood; so that you have no lack. So be it. Boy. The Scriptures quoted are prophefies and promises to the Meffiah and his covenant. If the character of Prieft in the old covenant be mailed to the dignity of a facrament, becaule the Scriptures declare it, why not the character of Priest in the new covenant, having the testimony of both covenants. Mof. Neither Jews or Chriftians, from the beginning to this day, ever denied a fuperior and more perfect flate to the character of Priest under the new law, being under the immediate tuition of the Meffiah. and dignified, according to the Scripture promifes, to a more fublime, fpiritual, and exalted ftate. Malachi, chap. iii. fpeaking of the Priefthood under the Meffiah. Behold I will fend my meffenger, and he fhall prepare the way before me: before me and the Lord, whom ye feek, fhall fuddenly come to his temple, even the meffenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in, behold he fhall come, faith the Lord of Hoffs, and he fhall fit as a refiner, and purifier of filwer, and he fhall purify the fons of Levi, and purge them as gold and filver, that they may offer unto the Lord, an offering in righteoufnefs. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who fhall fland when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner's fire, and like fuller's fope. Luth. The Lord faid unto my Lord: fit thou on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footflool. The Lord fhall fend the rod of thy power out of Sion; be thou ruler, even in the midst of thy enemies. In the day of thy power fhall the people offer thee, free-will offerings, with an holy worthip. The Lord fware, and will not repent: Thou art a Prieft for ever after the or .der der of Melchifedech, whofe offering was bread and wine, as ours are, from Chrift to this day. Boy. Matthew, chap x. And when Christ, our Meffiah, had called his twelve difciples together, he gave them power over unclean fpirits, to caft them out, and to heal all manner of difeafes, and all manner of ficknelles. Now the names of the welve Apostles are thefe: Simon first who is cal. led Peter, &c. These twelve Jefus fent, and commanded them faying: Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter not: but go rather to the loft sheep of the houfe of Ifrael, and go preach, faying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the fick, raife the dead, cleanfe the lepers, caff out devils: freely have you received, freely give. And when you come into a houfe, falute it, faying: Peace be to the house. And if that houfe be worthy, your peace fhall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace fhall return to you. And wholoever thall not receive you, nor hear your words going forth out of that house or city, fhake off the duit from your feet. Amen, fay to you, it fhall be anore tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judg ment, than for that city. Chap. xiii. To you t is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them the Jews) it is not given. Therefore do I speak to them in parables: because seeing they fee not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Chap. xvi. And Jefus anfwered and faid to him: Bleffed art thou Simon-bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath : hath not revealed it (the divinity of Chrift) to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I fay to thee That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell fhall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatsoever thou fhalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound alfo in heaven: and whatsoever thou fhalt loofe,upon earth, it fhall be loofed alfo in heal ven. Mof. Peter is raifed and placed in the fupreme Chair, in the chriftian covenant or Church, as Aaron in the Jewish or firft covenant; fo that upon the fuppofition that Jefus is the Chrift Peter and his fucceffors are placed by their Meffiah in the fupremacy or Chair of State in Spirituals, as Kings or other crowned heads in Temporals... Luth. This is a truth known to all but Heretics and Unbelievers. Eighteen ages adminifter this proof. Seventy years was I hard fet,in this bird-lime of perdition, not knowing that being initiated in the nobility of fpiritual royalty, in the Chriftian. Priesthood, I was be-kecking my own neft. When man was in honour he did not know it. This Scripture is verified in our Priesthood, who difavow and make ourselves the make- .game, and laughing ftook of the rafcally crew of Calvinians, and other falfe brethren. Myself and Brotherhood have drank deep of this poisonous draught of herely and fchifm; being dragged into a league by the cunning contrivance and artful machination of the very peft, offscouring and out-caft of our nation, many of our laws |
